THIS ONE

What opportunities did we allow to flow by

Feeling like the timing wasn't quite right?

What kind of magic might have worked if we had stayed calm,

Couldn't I have given you a better life?

Did I ever take you in my arms,

Look you in the eye, tell you that I do,

Did I ever open up my heart

And let you look inside.

If I never did it, I was only waiting

For a better moment that didn't come.

There never could be a better moment

Than this one, this one.

What opportunities did we allow to flow by

Feeling like the timing wasn't quite right?

What kind of magic might have worked if we had stayed calm,

Couldn't I have given you a better life?

Did I ever touch you on the cheek

Say that you were mine, thank you for the smile,

Did I ever knock upon your door

And try to get inside?

If I never did it, I was only waiting

For a better moment that didn't come.

There never could be a better moment

Than this one, this one.
